Each student, in consultation with the instructor, will choose a musical genre or topic and prepare a class presentation accompanied by a written background paper. If you choose a genre, be specific. Don’t choose a broad genre like rock and roll. Narrow the genre to a very specific area of rock and roll like West Coast Grunge Rock of the 1990’s or Women in Rock.
